Wednesdays Words on a Friday

 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.

The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.

This month the words/prompts are supplied by Janice and can be found here

Here is my story:

As the wedding march began to play, we all turned away from George and his inane jokes about honeymoons. Truly the man had zero knowledge about what was no longer acceptable these days. I thought one day I might like to study his pea-size brain under a strong microscope.

Amelia and Ricky had wanted a simple wedding, outside in the fresh air. The giant oak trees on her parents property had been strung with paper lanterns and silver bells which tinkled in the soft wind. Two tiny girls walked slowly across the lawn sprinkling rose petals as Amelia, effervescent as always, came behind them in a champagne coloured silk gown with shimmering pearls stitched to the bodice and hem.

Ricky suddenly looked nervous, hoping he wouldn’t stumble and stutter his vows. I realized this was a landmark moment for him, having once said many years ago that he would be a free man forever, never marrying. Then he met Amelia and like clockwork his future clicked into place. I patted his shoulder and felt him relax.
